Siemens S7-300 not going into run mode

[advanced.eic]

G'day guys,
I am setting up a s7-300 as a test rig for the workshop and when I downloaded the PLC is not going into run mode, I keep getting a parameter assignment error in the CPU.
Any help on fixing the issue would be appreciated

Please show the details of diagnostic messages 1 and 4.
When did this start happening?
What happened just before the problem first occurred?

Give us a list of all modules in your rack(s).

This could be a 24VDC missing on one of the modules, missing backplane connector, defective module.

Also, a screenshot of the device configuration online would help.

Maybe there is a discrepancy between the actual hardware and the setup in the TIA project.
List all modules in the rack.
Post a screenshot of the device configuration in TIA.

Not sure how it works with S7-300 in TIA. There is usually a quite precise error diagnostics when you use S7-1500.

Ah, but you have worked with S7-300s in TIA for decades.

The only discrepancy is the plc firmware version.
Offline is 2.6 on online is 2.0

The only error now seams to be the attached images.
I can completely remove the analogue input on the card address 288 and the fault disappears and if i move it to another input the fault follows the first addressed analogue input.
Hope that makes sense.

You have a problem with the AO module. If you right click it and do "Online Diagnostics" you should get a more exact error.

I will check it out tomorrow, never though of checking the module has it had no errors directly reported.
Thanks for going out of your way to help mate, highly appreciated

The top left little icon tells you there is a problem (see attached image).

Could be missing 24V or (crazy enough) I've had someone forget to put the "U-shaped" backplane connector that connects the modules to each other. Could be that the module is not firmly seated on the rail or U-shaped connector. Or it's the wrong module selected in the configuration or wrong module installed in the rack.

We need to see the exact type no in TIA and on the module.
6ES7.. something.

Total re-write from scratch

I have totally started from scratch for this one trying to find the issue.
All the program does is scales the 5 analogue inputs and does absolutely nothing with them (as basic as I can get to replicate the fault).
I have also change the slot numbers and locations of the modules to no avail.
I have attached screenshots of the modules as requested and also the diagnostics buffer.
Thank-you guys for all your help thus far

P.S. The fault is any showing up when the inputs are configured to do something, if I load just the hardware config, I get no errors??????

You cannot use a v2.0 firmware CPU with TIA Portal.

You need a minimum 4MB memory card to upgrade the CPU firmware:
https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/16750732/operating-system-updates-for-cpu-315-2dp?dti=0&lc=en-US

The instructions are for STEP 7 V5.x and PROMMER.

Or...

To avoid all that, use STEP 7 V5.x (V5.7 is the latest version) instead of TIA Portal.

Your a legend mate, thank-you.
I will try to source one asap
